Abstract
volume provide a rich collection of musical texts and careful interpretations of the contribution of musicians to political messaging. Music and Messaging in the African Political Arena should be required reading and studying for students of political communication. It is an outstanding work of scholarship rich in methodological and theoretical examples for all social scientists. It also provides a rich and extended journey into the music and musicians from all African regions. In the process, it demonstrates the enduring political messages in songs of praise and songs of protest that have always animated the political arena of the continent.
期刊介绍:
Accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training for university research purposes African Journalism Studies subscribes to the Code of Best Practice for Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals of the Academy of Science of South Africa. African Journalism Studies ( AJS) aims to contribute to the ongoing extension of the theories, methodologies and empirical data to under-researched areas of knowledge production, through its emphasis on African journalism studies within a broader, comparative perspective of the Global South. AJS strives for theoretical diversity and methodological inclusivity, by developing theoretical approaches and making critical interventions in global scholarly debates. The journal''s comparative and interdisciplinary approach is informed by the related fields of cultural and media studies, communication studies, African studies, politics, and sociology. The field of journalism studies is understood broadly, as including the practices, norms, value systems, frameworks of representation, audiences, platforms, industries, theories and power relations that relate to the production, consumption and study of journalism. A wide definition of journalism is used, which extends beyond news and current affairs to include digital and social media, documentary film and narrative non-fiction.
